Chapter 5

The next morning all three people got up together. Jonathan was the first to leave his bedroom to make his way to the kitchen to get something to eat. He was still thinking about what Evy had to decide to do today. Evy and Jenny joined him as he started to make himself some bacon and eggs.

"Are we getting any of that?" Jenny said with a smile on her face. She expected Jonathan to complain as he always did when she had asked for some food but this time he just went to the refrigerator and grad a couple more eggs and a few more strips of bacon.

"How much do you want?" Jonathan asked looking in the direction of the girls.

"I'll take one egg and 3 slices of bacon, please." Jenny said with politeness

"I don't think I want bacon and eggs today. I'll go for some pancakes if you want to make that." Evy looked at Jonathan, she too thought that Jonathan was going to turn her request into a job that was too big for him but he got out the pancakes and put them on the skillet for his sister.

"Ok, what's wrong with you?" Jenny asked starting to get concerned and a little scared by Jonathan's behavior.

"Nothings wrong. It's just that Rick's not here to make breakfast so I will have to take over that responsibility and make sure that my loving wife and my baby sister eat." Jonathan said, partly lying. He did have to make sure they ate but he wasn't fixing them breakfast just because Rick was gone. He fixed it because he knew that his sister was going through allot right now and he loved his wife.

After they finished their breakfast Jonathan sat down with Evy, asking Jenny to leave them so they could talk in private.

"Have you come to your decision on what you are going to do about Imhotep?"

"I don't want to talk about that right now Jonathan. I'm worried about Rick. I want him back, it's lonely sleeping with no one to comfort you at night."

"Do you want me to try and find him for you?" Jonathan was trying to help his sister any way that he could.

"How? You don't know where he is and neither do I. It would take us more than just today to find him."

"I could check all the hotels. There's only twenty or so in the area. I could also check the local bars to see if they have had him walk in."

Evy thought about it for awhile, "I guess you could try to find him, but try to do it before I leave with…" Evy stopped her self before she said what she planned to do.

"Before you leave with..?" Jonathan tried to get her to finish her sentence but Evy just went on about finding Rick.

Jonathan started to call the hotels that he could find in the phone book. After about an hour Jonathan finally found a hotel that had a room checked out to a Mr. Richard O'Connell. When Jonathan told Evy, she leapt off the sofa and ran to the car only to remember that Rick took the car. She had started to think that she would never see Rick again when a man drove up to their house. Evy didn't know him but could tell right away that he was there for her. Another man stepped out of the car and she recognized him as soon as he looked up.

"Evy get away, stay way from that man." Jonathan shouted but it was no use. The man had swept her into the car and drove off before Jonathan could get to her.

It seemed as though they drove forever before the man told the drive to stop the car.

"I know you have something to tell me Nefertiri. May I ask what it is?" Imhotep's voice rang through Evy's ears.

"I won't tell you till I know where we are going." Evy demanded

"I am taking you to my home here in London. We will wait there until I get the word from my men that they have found Anck-Su-Namun, then we will journey to Hamunaptra."

"Thank you for telling me. I will tell you what you want to know when we get to your home till then don't try anything funny."

When they made it to Imhotep's home, the driver ran over to open Evy's door. When Evy got out she was astonished to see that Imhotep had a home that was more like a mansion. They went inside and Imhotep asked her again to tell him what she wanted to tell him the whole time she was around him.

"I love you. I know it's absurd but it's true. When we first met after your regeneration, I fell so deeply in love with you even though you were going to try and kill me I couldn't help to feel something for you." She had finally admitted her feelings to him as she thought she would. Now came his reaction to what she had said.

"I do not deny that I too felt something for you but it would never be. I am bound to one love, Anck-Su-Namun."

"I know but can we just get over that and say that we have expressed our feeling for each other and get on with our lives."

"I intend to get on with my life by ending yours. That is the way it has to be."

"But I love you and I still do. I even told Rick that I did and he has left me. You're the only one I can look forward to being with." Evy started to cry as she thought of Rick. She still wished none of this happened.

"Leave us." Imhotep told the man that had drove them to the house.

He got close to Evy and started to wipe the tears from her cheeks. She wasn't sure of his intentions so she back up a bit. He leaned in to kiss her and she didn't resist. He took her to the bed and laid her down as he started to undress her. She was a little nervous at first but she eventually calmed down.
